The songstress officially confirmed her pregnancy after performing her song "Love On Top" at the 2011 show — and it was a super sweet moment. She dropped her mic, unbuttoned her blazer and showed off her growing tummy to the world. Cutest part? Hubby Jay-Z smiling from ear-to-ear front and center next to pal Kanye West.

At the 2000 VMAs, a then 18-year-old Britney took the stage and performed her version of the Rolling Stone's "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" and her hit "Oops!…I Did It Again." She started off the performance wearing a tux…and ripped it off midway revealing a barely-there nude outfit. At that moment, she became what she was singing…not that innocent. And her body looked amazing!

In 1997, Diana Ross — like the rest of the crowd — couldn't get over Lil Kim's revealing outfit. So what did she do about it? Playfully touched Kim's exposed left breast before they presented an award with Mary J. Blige.

When Taylor Swift went to accept her win for Best Female Video at the 2009 event, she didn't expect Kanye to storm the stage and steal the mic from her. In his infamous rant, the hip hop star tells Taylor "Imma let you finish" then proclaims, "I'm sorry, but Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time." Kanye apologized, but then later revealed it wasn't genuine and that he felt forced to do it. But he's had a change of heart. While on Kris Jenner's talk show Friday, he said, "The last thing I would want to happen to my daughter is some crazy drunk black guy to cut her off at an awards show."

She always knows how to get people talking! At the 2010 show, Lady Gaga wore a dress and shoes made entirely out of fresh meat designed by Franc Fernandez. Naturally, animal rights groups were not happy with her choice in attire. But she did have a winning night with awards. She became the most-nominated artist in VMA history for a single year. The songstress took home 8 of her 13 awards.

Who can forget when Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera opened up the 2003 show with Madonna and Missy Elliott? And who can forget when Madge practically made out with Brit on stage? She kissed Xtina, too, but her kiss with the "Slave 4 U" singer made headlines. And so did Brit's ex Justin Timberlake when the cameras caught his reaction! "Oh I was very nervous and very shy," Brit said about the performance. "Like honestly, just being with Madonna, she has this presence about her. … I mean I'm a shy person in general, but I got very intimidated and I was like, not myself. I was not the confident Britney, you know?"

Madonna performed her hit song "Like A Virgin" at the first VMAs in 1984. She appeared atop a giant wedding cake…and ended up rolling around on the floor in a very sexy way. It's still one of the most memorable performances to date.

Remember when Prince wore this rather revealing yellow number while performing "Gett Off" in 1991? Yeah, so do we. While it can't be seen here, when Prince turned around, he showed off, um, well, his whole derriere.

When Limp Bizkit attempted to accept its award for Best Rock Video in 2000, Rage Against the Machine's bassist, Tim C., decided to interrupt them by climbing a 15-foot stage prop and rocking it back and forth. Staffers rushed to the stage, trying to get him off while Limp Bizkit muffled out a few thank you's. It was pretty awkward.
